Destination Wedding Review
The stunning turquoise water in Positano, Italy
What an excellent experience from start to finish! We realized that we needed professional help. With Andrea's help we had our amazing wedding with 65 guests at Beaches Turks and Caicos! Andrea provided individual, boutique service to each of our guests, while giving attention to various family preferences. She joined us on conference calls with the resort, and the resort wedding coordinator to make sure they didn’t stray from our vision and budget. She sent us videos and pictures of the resort and our room so we knew what to expect. On-site, she was with us for meetings, and handled a lot of small details for us so we could enjoy the resort and time with friends and family as much as possible.
